The communal coping model argues that people cope with stress in the context of their relationships and that coping responses are both cognitive and behavioral in nature. However, the cognitive dimension of the model (appraisal) has not been explicated in extant research. The purpose of this study is to fill that gap by conceptualizing the appraisal dimension of communal coping in the context of families managing one member's type 2 diabetes. Analysis of interviews with individuals with type 2 diabetes and their family members (N = 28) revealed that appraisal consists of problem ownership and perceived problem influence and that appraisals are influenced by knowledge of the disease and changing health status. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
共助应对模型认为，人们在人际关系的背景下应对压力，应对反应既有认知性的，也有行为性的。然而，该模型的认知维度（评估）在现有研究中尚未得到阐明。本研究旨在通过在家庭管理 2 型糖尿病患者的背景下对共助应对的评估维度进行概念化来填补这一空白。对 2 型糖尿病患者及其家庭成员的访谈分析（N=28）表明，评估包括问题所有权和感知问题影响，并且评估受到对疾病的了解和健康状况变化的影响。讨论了理论和实践意义。
